Hi He was a pre war regular with the Connaught Rangers he also served at some stage with the other two.The British War medal and Victory Medal he was also entitled to were returned to medal office for amendments maybe a spelling error of name or something.He was discharged to pension with a silver war badge and will have an entry on the silver war badge rolls on ancestry too.Only 30% of records survived the Blitz of ww2.

Researching all Great War soldiers from the Spen Valley of West Yorkshire Especially lads from the Cleckheaton Company of 1/4th West Riding Regiment.
